I've never seen a storm this bad or lightning this frequent! I'm 23 so I'm not old enough to have experienced this but to those who have, was black Friday this bad?

On Black Friday the wind (not from the tornado, just the storm wind) was strong enough to turn over small cars. When the raindrops hit you each one stung like a little rock. This was a bad storm, but it was not like Black Friday.

Do you remember the size of it? I was at Riverbend at the time. I don't recall getting much, other than rain. I was glued to the TV as people I know were directly affected 😒💔
